“Phenotype tells you what a cell is — but 𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 tells you if it has 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗲𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹.” 💡 In this video, Lightcast Assoc. Dir. of Commercial Development Carrie Maynard explains why functional assays are so important for driving innovation in #DrugDiscovery. #ScienceSky #SingleCell

Antibody-based immunotherapies can target disease with high precision — but #AntibodyDiscovery workflows are slow & costly. Using streamlined functional analysis earlier in the discovery process can help deliver promising therapies quicker, writes our own Jonathan Didier. go.lightcast.bio/47R6ZoF

Why antibody discovery needs to focus on function
Early functional testing could transform the future of antibody-based therapies — here’s how.
